Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil - Goodreads
I saw an interview of Anne Carson on a red carpet recently and it was *iconic* and I immediately added it to my TBR
Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson
Horrible book title but I've heard great things about it. I also plan to listen to it as an audiobook since Ina narrates it and I've heard she crushes it!
Be Ready When Luck Happens: A Memoir
This isn't really a sit down and read in a row kind of book but a read a bit here nad there throughout the year kinda book. I stared it on Kindle but then realized quickly I needed it hard copy to annotate and underline things
The Creative Act: A Way of Being - Barnes & Noble®
I saw this on some list of must read books on a tiktok right after the election

This was beautiful- I loved it so much and it was my perfect book- some academia and some art history.
Sirens & Muses: A Novel - amazon.com
The first book in this series was one of my favorites from last year and was like no other concept for a story I've read before. It got me into magical realism type fantasy and I'm forever greatful

I started it on kindle as a rental from my library and the rental was up before I could finished it and now I'm waiting while it is on my holds list to finish it and I think about it once a day as least!
